Easter bunnies

The colour challenge and Just Add Ink made me want to make a card, the Easter theme at Double D and the usual anything goes at CYHTP ensured I combined my idea so the card would fit into the three challenges. In general I don’t do many of the holiday themed cards except for Christmas, but I do want to send a few Easter cards this year so I’ve completed a few. Using the colours from Just add Ink I created an Easter egg and decorated it. I first cut the egg shape by hand and then using some scrap strips of CS I inked colour to each strip. When it was dry I cut the fringe using scissors that are actually designed for cutting herbs. They are more useful in my craft room. After cutting off the excess I set it aside. I pulled out an old Easter set from GKD, and stamped the rabbit on some scrap that has rough finish similar to linen and used some Prisma pencils to colour it. I did use an alcohol pen for his ears, nose and cheeks and a white glaze pen for his tail. Using a blender pencil I smoothed out the colour but deliberately left it a bit rough so it looks like fur. After finding a pink piece of vellum I dry embossed it with this tulip folder. I added the egg and took a Doodlebug sticker of a rabbit head and added it behind the egg before fully sticking it down. Some additional stickers were added as a decoration and the sentiment, from the same set, was stamped, embossed and fussy cut as I wanted it to be stacked not side by side. The other rabbit is popped up on foam tape. The gray note card makes the pink vellum look slightly darker than it actually is.

As so often happens, I’ve already thought of an easier way to add the fringed elements to get a better edge line, but too late for this particular card. All in all I’m happy with the card.

Thanks for stopping by, your time and comments are appreciated.

  1. This is so sweet. Your fringe egg layers are very creative. I think Prety Pink Posh just released a fringe egg die. Your card fits the color challenge perfectly.

  5. Too, too cute my friend! (Don’t forget about our Can You Handle the Pressure embossing folder challenge … this would work perfectly). Thanks so much for joining in the fun at our Double D challenge!  Good Luck and we hope you’ll come back often.

  6. That is one sweet Easter card. Love the rabbits, egg and especially the embossed tulips around them. One lucky person receiving this card will be over the moon noting the TLC which went into it.
